Abstract: Multi-cloud is a vendor-based heterogeneous cloud paradigm in recent era of computing with dynamic infrastructural deployment. Multi-cloud provides all the essential and on-demand requirements of a virtual environment from various domains under a single service level agreement (SLA). Consumers from multitier domains can access all the available resources placed in a shared pool on service provider’s side, as per their requirement. The shared pool of resources creates complexity in assigning the best and suitable resource to a particular virtual instance under the same services provider end. The complexity of resources in terms of accessibility from the various domains, dynamic allocation, security, and quality of services (QoS) raises concerns in the multi-cloud infrastructure. This complexity raise concern relates to optimal provisioning and cost management. In the proposed work a hybrid technique with a shuffled leapfrog algorithm and ubiquitous binary search (SLFA-UBS) to resolve these issues with optimal provisioning, dynamic allocation and better resource selection. The proposed work will help to create a need-based and demand-based resource pool with the appropriate selection of each resource. The proposed model also supports resource optimization with dynamic provisioning, cost-effective solution to achieve QoS in multi-cloud deployment on service provider end.

Keywords: Optimal provisioning; resource allocation; multi-cloud; cost management; QoS and selection of resources
